In Person + Telehealth

Philosophy & Vision

I take a collaborative approach with my clients to develop practical, realistic and meaningful goals to work on. I adapt my approach to the client's needs, ensure that I listen to each person's experience, and understand their world as they see it. My style is to have fun with my clients and help them like themselves more. A sense of adventure and discovery are crucial for everyone and I encourage people to learn to take more risks and go boldly through life.
